Cablek's expandable monofilament braided sleevings provide a tough, durable protection over wire, wire bundles, wire harnesses, cable assemblies and flat ribbon cables. Ideal for applications in electronics, robotics, audio visual, automatic equipment, machine tools, etc.

Provides a tough, durable protection over wire, wire bundles, wire harnesses, cable assemblies, flat ribbon cable.
The open weave provides for the dissipation of heat and moisture, preventing condensation and allowing for complete drainage.
The resistance of the polyester monofilament to most oils, salt water, fuels, cleaners, solvents and chemicals makes it ideal for applications in harsh environments.

Cablek's expandable sleevings exhibit flexibility even at low temperatures making it ideal for applications in machine tools, robotics, automatic equipment and wherever exposure to extreme weather conditions is a concern.
